As the ensuing drama about the merger between E Palanisamy and O Panneerselvam faction nears an end, team EPS gets more jitters as DMK, Executive President, MK Stalin, threatened to topple the government.

The political crisis is definitely nearing an end as EPS agrees to all the conditions put forward by OPS, and the latter categorically reiterating that 'good news' will be given in a couple of days. However, the AIADMK regime is not entirely out of trouble as the moment DMK leader MK Stalin arrived, he released a statement threatening the State government.

Stalin said, "AIADMK government is using force to crush protest, but DMK will not quietly watch such acts. He was referring to the ultimatum given ro government employees who planned to stage a protest on September seeking a better pay.

But, using the government employees struggle as a prelude Stalin delivered his message. "EPS is trying to crush the protest of government staffs. This government will be democratically toppled".

No one knows how Stalin plans to dethrone the EPS government. Apparently, insiders claim that Stalin might ask for a 'no-confidence' motion.

The opposition holds 99 MLAs which is not going to hurt EPS government, but if TTV's magic number of 20 AIADMK MLAs adds to the equation, EPS' government cannot sustain. However, Stalin was not ready to explain more to this statement and TTV has already stated that he has MLAs who are acting as 'sleeper cells' and can be activated as per his wish.

"Its a simple strategy. An enemy of my enemy is my friend. All these MLAs would rally behind EPS only til he's in power. The moment he goes down, they'll stick with Sasikala family, as they know who owns the party", explained a senior leader from AIADMK.
